Definitions

  • Additive manufacturing commonly referred to as three-dimensional or 3D printing, enables objects to be generated on a layer-by-layer basis, for example through the selective solidification of a build material.
  • Powder-based 3D printing systems typically form successive thin layers of a powder or particulate-type build material on a build platform and selectively solidify portions of each layer that represent a cross-section of a 3D object.
  • Selective solidification techniques may include, for example, use of a printable fusing agent in combination with application of fusing energy to cause portions of the build material on which fusing agent is printed, or applied, to absorb more energy than portions of build material on which no fusing agent is printed.
  • the portions on which fusing agent is printed melt and solidify to form part of the 3D object being printed, whereas non-fused build material remains in a generally non-solidified state and may be removed and, in some cases, reused in the generation of further 3D objects.
  • Other 3D printing systems may use a laser to selectively sinter portions of a layer of build material.
  • Figure 1 is a simplified isometric view of a build module according to one example
  • Figure 2 is a simplified isometric view of a build module according to one example
  • Figure 3 is a simplified isometric view of a build module according to one example
  • Figure 4 is a simplified isometric view of a build module according to one example
  • Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a 3D printing system according to one example.
  • Figure 6 is a flow diagram outlining an example method of operating a 3D printing system.
  • powder-based 3D printing systems generate 3D objects in a build module in which is provided a build chamber.
  • the build module may be integrated into the 3D printing system, and in others the build module may be provided by a removable build unit.
  • a build chamber is a generally open-topped chamber in which a moveable build platform is provided.
  • the build platform is moveable between a base position and an upper position along an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the build platform.
  • the build platform is positioned just below the top of the build chamber to allow a thin layer of build material to be formed on the build platform.
  • the build material may be any suitable kind of 3D printing build material, such as powder or granulate type materials. Suitable materials may include many types of plastics, metals, and ceramics. The specific type of build material used may depend on the type of selective solidification process used by the 3D printing system.
  • a layer of powder may be formed on the build platform, for example, by spreading with a roller or wiper a pile or volume of build material over the build platform.
  • the build module described herein may be suitable for use with liquid build materials, such as resins and polymerizabie liquids.
  • the thickness of the layer of build material formed is largely dependent on the position of the build platform relative to the top of the build chamber, A selective solidification process may then be performed on the layer of build material, and the build platform may then be lowered by a distance equal to the height of the next layer of build material to be formed. The process may repeat until the build platform is at the bottom of the build chamber, or until no further solidification of build material is needed. At the end of the printing process the build chamber contains a mix of solidified and non-solidified build material.
  • a build chamber The dimensions of a build chamber are generally fixed for a given build module of a 3D printing system.
  • a 3D printing system with a relatively large build chamber may enable large, or multiple objects to be formed, in many situations the use of a relatively large build chamber may be inefficient when only relatively small or relatively few objects are to be formed.
  • a 3D printing system with a relatively small build chamber may be efficient for forming relatively small or relatively few objects, but may be unsuitable for forming relatively large or relatively many objects.
  • Examples described herein provide a build module having a variable size build chamber, in some examples such a build module may be configured to provide a build chamber having one or more different sizes or dimensional configurations, for example from a set of available build chamber volume sizes. Also described herein is an example 3D printing system that may determine a size of build chamber to be used for a particular 3D printing operation from a set of available build chamber sizes and may configure a build module to provide the determined build chamber size.
